摘要：
A method to mode lock a Fabry-Perot laser diode (F-P LD) by purely optical means is proposed. Two F-P modes are mutually injection locked with the aid of injected cw light at the center frequency of the two modes. The other F-P modes are cascadingly mode locked owing to the cavity-enhanced nondegenerate four-wave mixing in the F-P LD. The principle of the method was confirmed by observing the linewidth narrowing of the lasing longitudinal modes and the generated optical pulse train at the repetition frequency of one F-P mode spacing.
